    6 years is a terrible idea. It would allow even 1-term Presidents to select a majority of the justices and get whatever they want, and a 2-term President to appoint every seat.

    18 years is correct. It’s the shortest term that doesn’t allow a 2-term President to appoint a majority of the justices (resignationsand draths notwithstanding).
